This week I will begin assessing your blogs for 10% of the available 40% of the mark (as described in the course syllabus). Make sure you have at least one blog post for each week of the class so far (5 posts). It is easier if you post weekly but you can also post multiple times to catch up.
2. Tracking things down on the internet.
- Archive.is
- Using the Internet Archive and the
- Wayback Machine to hunt down the Epistemological Lifeboat.
3. Journalism with Geodata
- Image verification
- Take a look at Bellingcat Blog and Verification Skills development post.
- Check out GeoGuesser
4. A bit of theory a bit of practice
The last few classes explored some features of new forms of journalism in a digital age. Data Journalism, Citizen's Journalism, and variants. On an even larger scale we can compare and contrast the idea of stateless journalism with legacy journalism.
New forms of journalism involve some radical institutional level changes as described and analyzed in the article:
Deuze, M., & Witschge, T. (2018). Beyond journalism: Theorizing the transformation of journalism. Journalism, 19(2), 165–181. https://doi.org/10.1177/1464884916688550
To read this article, here is an exercise in collaborative annotation using an application called Hypothes.is. Like Zotero, Hypothes.is is a not-for-profit web service intended for scholarship. You can use your class account to sign into Hypothes.is. Here is a link to the Hypothesis Group
Here is a link to the article with a Hypothesis annotation session started. You may have to log into your BU library account.
